as both are dear to us. esteemed friends, for years the inefficiency of the capitalism and the existing world management and structures has been exposed and the majority of states and nations have been on a quest for fundamental changes and for the prevalence ofjustice in global relations. the cause of the united nation's ineptitude is in its unjust structure. major power is monopolized in the security council due to the veto privilege, and the main pillar of the organization, namely the general assembly, is marginalized. in the past several decades, at least one of the permanent members of the security council has always been a party to the disputes. the veto advantage grants impunity to aggression and occupation, how could, therefore, one expect competence while both the judge and the prosecutor are a party to the dispute? had iran enjoyed veto privilege, would the security council and the iaea director general have taken the same position in the nuclear issue? dear friends, the united nations is the key c
